bgmac: leave interrupts disabled as long as there is work to do · eb64e292

Felix Fietkau authored Apr 14, 2015

Always poll rx and tx during NAPI poll instead of relying on the status
of the first interrupt. This prevents bgmac_poll from leaving unfinished
work around until the next IRQ.
In my tests this makes bridging/routing throughput under heavy load more
stable and ensures that no new IRQs arrive as long as bgmac_poll uses up
the entire budget.

bgmac: simplify tx ring index handling · b38c83dd

Felix Fietkau authored Apr 14, 2015

Keep incrementing ring->start and ring->end instead of pointing it to
the actual ring slot entry. This simplifies the calculation of the
number of free slots.

hv_netvsc: Implement partial copy into send buffer · aa0a34be

Haiyang Zhang authored Apr 13, 2015

If remaining space in a send buffer slot is too small for the whole message,
we only copy the RNDIS header and PPI data into send buffer, so we can batch
one more packet each time. It reduces the vmbus per-message overhead.

====================
netdev-related stuff in vfs.git

There are several commits sitting in vfs.git that probably ought to go in
via net-next.git.  First of all, there's merge with vfs.git#iocb - that's
Christoph's aio rework, which has triggered conflicts with the ->sendmsg()
and ->recvmsg() patches a while ago.  It's not so much Christoph's stuff
that ought to be in net-next, as (pretty simple) conflict resolution on merge.
The next chunk is switch to {compat_,}import_iovec/import_single_range - new
safer primitives for initializing iov_iter.  The primitives themselves come
from vfs/git#iov_iter (and they are used quite a lot in vfs part of queue),
conversion of net/socket.c syscalls belongs in net-next, IMO.  Next there's
afs and rxrpc stuff from dhowells.  And then there's sanitizing kernel_sendmsg
et.al.  + missing inlined helper for "how much data is left in msg->msg_iter" -
this stuff is used in e.g.  cifs stuff, but it belongs in net-next.

That pile is pullable from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git for-davem

I'll post the individual patches in there in followups; could you take a look
and tell if everything in there is OK with you?

tcp/dccp: get rid of central timewait timer · 789f558c

Eric Dumazet authored Apr 12, 2015

Using a timer wheel for timewait sockets was nice ~15 years ago when
memory was expensive and machines had a single processor.

This does not scale, code is ugly and source of huge latencies
(Typically 30 ms have been seen, cpus spinning on death_lock spinlock.)

We can afford to use an extra 64 bytes per timewait sock and spread
timewait load to all cpus to have better behavior.

Tested:

On following test, /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle is set to 1
on the target (lpaa24)

Before patch :

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
419594

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
437171

While test is running, we can observe 25 or even 33 ms latencies.

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20601ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.020/0.217/25.771/1.535 ms, pipe 2

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 20702ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.019/0.183/33.761/1.441 ms, pipe 2

After patch :

About 90% increase of throughput :

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
810442

lpaa23:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa24 -t TCP_CC -l 60 -- -p0,0
800992

And latencies are kept to minimal values during this load, even
if network utilization is 90% higher :

lpaa24:~# ping -c 1000 -i 0.02 -qn lpaa23
...
1000 packets transmitted, 1000 received, 0% packet loss, time 19991ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.023/0.064/0.360/0.042 ms

tcp: fix bogus RTT for CC when retransmissions are acked · 3d0d26c7

Kenneth Klette Jonassen authored Apr 11, 2015

Since retransmitted segments are not used for RTT estimation, previously
SACKed segments present in the rtx queue are used. This estimation can be
several times larger than the actual RTT. When a cumulative ack covers both
previously SACKed and retransmitted segments, CC may thus get a bogus RTT.

Such segments previously had an RTT estimation in tcp_sacktag_one(), so it
seems reasonable to not reuse them in tcp_clean_rtx_queue() at all.

Afaik, this has had no effect on SRTT/RTO because of Karn's check.

net: use jump label patching for ingress qdisc in __netif_receive_skb_core · 4577139b

Daniel Borkmann authored Apr 10, 2015

Even if we make use of classifier and actions from the egress
path, we're going into handle_ing() executing additional code
on a per-packet cost for ingress qdisc, just to realize that
nothing is attached on ingress.

Instead, this can just be blinded out as a no-op entirely with
the use of a static key. On input fast-path, we already make
use of static keys in various places, e.g. skb time stamping,
in RPS, etc. It makes sense to not waste time when we're assured
that no ingress qdisc is attached anywhere.

Enabling/disabling of that code path is being done via two
helpers, namely net_{inc,dec}_ingress_queue(), that are being
invoked under RTNL mutex when a ingress qdisc is being either
initialized or destructed.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-04-11

This series contains updates to iflink, ixgbe and ixgbevf.

The entire set of changes come from Vlad Zolotarov to ultimately add
the ethtool ops to VF driver to allow querying the RSS indirection table
and RSS random key.

Currently we support only 82599 and x540 devices.  On those devices, VFs
share the RSS redirection table and hash key with a PF.  Letting the VF
query this information may introduce some security risks, therefore this
feature will be disabled by default.

The new netdev op allows a system administrator to change the default
behaviour with "ip link set" command.  The relevant iproute2 patch has
already been sent and awaits for this series upstream.
